Dalston Mill Fabrics100% Cotton Fabric, Natural, 1m

Liked it a lot, bought for school projects and was exactly what I needed

Nice crisp fabric, yellowy cream colour, good thickness, not flimsy. I am pleased with the actual fabric. It is just what I needed. Has a weird musty smell but I'm sure this will wash out. However, I am not pleased that this is advertised as 3 metres when it is actually 2.9 metres. I would have returned it if I actually needed 3 metres. Especially as I ordered this more expensive fabric hoping it would be as advertised. Not happy!Update after washing: this was cool washed on a rapid setting (15mins) and line dried. On the plus side the musty smell has gone, but there are long vertical creases now which, although softened, have not gone away when sprayed with water and ironed on the hottest setting (see images). I am definitely not so pleased with the fabric now! (Btw - it did pass the burn test and appears to be 100% cotton.) I do not recommend this fabric.

Very happy with my purchase. As discribed Excellent quality 100% cotton fabric and true to colour.

Good quality product

I was delighted that this material arrived very quickly after ordering. I chose this for making masks, and was disappointed that it is quite thin. I assumed 100% cotton would be thicker but will need to use three or four layers to get the required thickness. The material was not expensive and overall I would give it four stars.

I ordered 1M. It came as expected and had a nice rich color. It served its purpose well and it worth the price.

The fabric on opening was nice and smooth and seemed to have quite a bit of finishing in it so I cut off a 12 inch strip across the width, washed it by hand, dried, and it developed strong vertical lines as though it had been scruffily folded into one inch vertical folds and pressed. I ironed, the lines came out, and cut up into large 12 inch squares for a project.I transfered my design, coloured with inktense, and then washed flat, by hand in warm water. All the strong vertical creases came back.So, I don't think this is going to be suitable for what I wanted which was to do some freestyle machine embroidery plus inktense pencil work, as once in a quilt it won't be possible to ever iron it flat again, and the squares will be rather distorted.On the other hand it took the iron on transfer well, and the inktense pencil work spread out nicely with water but didn't run when I gave it its flat soak to make sure all the ink was activated (hope it's permanent).Not sure, but I will give a couple of squares a go and if no good for embroidery will use for practice and backing to the quilt squares.

I bought the Royal Blue. Its a lovely vibrant colour and I was very happy with the quality of the cotton fabric, but the blue is not colourfast. I have washed it 3 times and it is still bleeding lots of colour. Sadly ruined a quilt I have spent hours making.
